Best Thai in Portland.
Harry's top 10 Thai spots in Portland score 81–91 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$$$.
Spice level and authenticity are two different things. Harry does not require incapacitating heat. He requires accuracy: Pad Thai that tastes of ketchup is not Pad Thai. The score turns on the depth of the fish sauce and the freshness of the aromatics.
